Consort of a Thousand Faces - Chapter 113

Chapter 113
Seeing that the pedestrians had cleared out in short order, the imperial guard took control of the horse carriage and guided it towards the teahouse .





The manager of the teahouse and its waiters respectfully stood to one side with their heads bowed, not daring to look up . They found it difficult to breathe as they heard the steady and powerful footsteps getting closer .

Pei Qianhao slowly walked into the teahouse . There are three floors . Judging from the decorations, the third floor is the fanciest .

The manager followed in, his voice trembling as he spoke . "Prince Hao, what… would you like to eat . . . and what would you like to drink?"

Pei Qianhao's gaze circled around before he finally sat down on a seat at the leftmost corner of the first floor .

His action had made the manager's heart rapidly sink . "Prince Hao… This servant will take you to a private room on the third floor . "

The manager was petrified by Pei Qianhao's aura, and didn't know how to address himself in front of the latter . This subordinate? This lowly one? After thinking it over, he decided to use the words 'this servant . '

Pei Qianhao's slender fingers knocked on the table softly . "You aren't this prince's subordinate, so why are you calling yourself a servant?"





The manager's heart trembled and knelt down . "This one deserves to die; Prince Hao, please quell your anger . " He really didn't know how to address himself now . I can't call myself a servant, so what do I call myself? This lowly one?

Su Xi-er saw that the manager was in distress and interjected, "Bring all the good food and drinks from this teahouse over . "

Hearing this, the manager respectfully replied with an affirmative . He immediately moved to complete his orders, as if he had just been pardoned for a major crime .

He had only taken three steps when he heard a calm and deep voice from behind . "Bring a pot of first-cla . s . s wine . "

The manager turned and nodded before hastily returning to his previous task .

Su Xi-er looked at Pei Qianhao . "You already drank a lot of wine in the imperial palace, yet you still want more from out here?"

Pei Qianhao's fingers continued to knock on the table as a devilish expression appeared in his eyes . "This time, you will drink with this prince . "

"This servant doesn't know how to drink wine . " I do know how to drink, but I don't want to .

"If you don't try, how would you know?" Pei Qianhao moved his gaze to inspect the decor within the teahouse .

"Did you see this teahouse when you sneaked out for a stroll?"

Su Xi-er answered truthfully, "I did . "

At this moment, a waiter with his head lowered brought a pot of first-cla . s . s wine to the table . Although this was only a teahouse, some guests would request wine, so it was only natural for them to have some prepared .

"Prince Hao, please enjoy . " The waiter put the pot wine down on the table, a huge burden lifting from his shoulders .






Being so close to Prince Hao, his whole body felt suppressed by nervousness and fear . He would start trembling if he stayed there too long .

Pei Qianhao took two teacups and filled them with wine . He then picked up a cup and pa . s . sed it to Su Xi-er . "Drink . " His voice was piercingly cold .

"This servant doesn't know how to drink . "

The waiter noticed something familiar about the voice, but he didn't dare to look up with Prince Hao here . With a lowered head, he saw the familiar coa . r . s . e clothes on her .

This woman… The waiter became suspicious . Suddenly, he thought of the murder case .

In an instant, the waiter raised his head in horror and looked at Su Xi-er directly . "You…"

Su Xi-er recognised him . He's the waiter who had been carrying a tray of food to the Wei daughters' private room .

"You… you are…" The waiter didn't dare to believe his eyes and stuttered .

Suddenly, a loud sound came from outside the teahouse . When the manager went to check, he found that they were a group of bailiff runners .

"By the orders of the County Magistrate, everyone in the teahouse must be brought back to the County Government Office for questioning . "

The manager was in a dilemma . There are important guests here at the teahouse, and imperial guards outside . Are these bailiff runners blind? Can't they see that there are influential personages here?

"This…"

The lead bailiff runner was impatient . "If you interfere with the case, be careful of losing your head . "

The manager trembled . Just when the bailiff runners were going to rush in, they were blocked by a glistening silvery sword .
